Returning to the Cry Baby DNA: the spirit of the first wahs from 1967
Within the Cry Baby family, the GCB95 has established itself as the versatile standard, while Signature versions target very specific tones. The GCB95F Cry Baby Classic Fasel is aimed at those who want the feel of an older Cry Baby: a rounder response, a more singing voice, and a sweep reminiscent of the first wahs that appeared in the late 1960s.
The idea is not to "copy" a vintage pedal (with its quirks, noise, and surprises), but to recapture that legendary character with the consistency and reliability of modern manufacturing. The result is a wah with a sober and timeless look, focusing on the essentials... the sound and the feel under your foot.
Who is the GCB95F for, and in which styles does it make a difference?
The GCB95F is designed for guitarists who play with nuance and expect a responsive, expressive, and musical pedal. It suits both intermediate players and seasoned musicians, as its operation is immediate: plug in, engage with your foot, and sculpt your phrase in real time.
It excels in classic rock, blues, funk, hard rock, and metal, especially for articulate leads and "talkbox-like" rhythms without gimmicks. In live settings, its true bypass is a real advantage if you frequently switch between clean, crunch, and heavy distortion tones. In the studio, its warm sweep helps bring a track forward without making it harsh.

A wah wah pedal by that name. There is really a difference between the classic GCB95F and the basic GCB95. The sound is cleaner, and at the wrong point where you activate the pedal, there is no sound lag that gives an impression of interruption compared to the basic crybaby. Thanks Fasel. And thank you Woodbrass for its delivery in top 24 hours!

Questions frequently asked
What sound does the Fasel inductor in the Cry Baby Classic provide?
The Fasel inductor delivers a warm response and a more vocal character, inspired by late 60s wah pedals. The sweep emphasizes a vocal tone, from muffled bass to piercing treble.
Is the pedal suitable for funk and rock?
Its analog circuit is suitable for precise funk rhythms, articulate rock solos, and leads in blues, hard rock, or metal. The dynamics respond to playing attack to highlight performance nuances.
What power supply is needed for this Dunlop wah?
The pedal operates with a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC power supply. The current draw is rated at 2.5 mA. The MDU ECB003E adapter is available optionally and is not included.
Does true bypass preserve the signal when the wah is off?
True bypass keeps the effects chain intact when the pedal is disengaged, especially with vintage-character fuzz pedals.
